We've Got Issues

Don Hall has a good post about prejudging and its discontents, and a very specific candidate-to-candidate view comparison broken down by issue. I think you should read it. A lot of us are falling for this personality contest, myself not discluded, and the specifics here are worth thinking about.

I promise, I promise, I PROMISE that my next post will not be about the presidential election. There will be lots of them (clearly—have I *ever* had this many posts between Friday Poetries?), but I need to make sure I'm using my brain as I want to.

Either way, I'm in Los Angeles and going camping this weekend, so until Monday there will not be any posts at all.
